"Our stay at Greshornish was lovely. It’s quite a remote location, but would be a lovely place to stay for a few days. We used it as a halfway point traveling around the Isle of Skye . Also, the breakfast was very good."

"Rooms spacious. Washrooms are huge and recently renovated. Food was delicious with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Views from dining room are exceptional.
Hotel does smell a bit older, not surprisingly given its history.
Remote location if someone is planning to spend a prolonged time."

"Less than 15 minute drive into Portree if you don’t want to stay inside town. Fantastic location for exploring all of Skye and the hosts were super friendly. The breakfast is wonderful as well."

Beautiful hotel, located in a beautiful area of the world. The staff were wonderful and the room was very charming. The only issue was ventilation in the bathroom, but that is understandable in a beautiful old building.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend Cuillin Hills for a relaxing weekend away. The room was fantastic, the biggest room we’ve ever stayed in! It was beautifully decorated, spotless, and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was equally impressive, with a generous bath that made it feel extra luxurious.
All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really added to the overall experience.
The location is also a big plus. It’s only about a 10-minute walk into...

The rooms were spotless. First night Room 1 - The shower couldnt be used as the thermostat was not working and only scalding hot water was output. I was moved to another room for the 2nd night. First night I was on the 3rd floor and found the steps to my room were too steep for me to negotiate. It was unpleasant. 2nd room I was on 1st Floor. Molly? housekeeping staff was very friendly, and I appreciated her assistance.

Our one night stay wasn't long enough. Great hosts, large comfortable well appointed room and lovely view. Good breakfast. Its a little out of town so you need a car.

Nicely done rooms in the distillery. Room was comfortable and had amazing view. Price was a bit high for the level offered and it was disappointing that the restaurant is closed mid week as the dining experience next door is not to be recommended.

Very clean room, I enjoyed using the Highland Soap Company products in the bathroom. Plentiful water/tea/biscuits supplied during our stay - real taste of the highlands. Breakfast was delicious at the restaurant located within the hotel.
Convenient store just 1 minute walk from the hotel which is well stocked with regular supermarket items. Parking out front of the hotel was easy to access but did get busy at times, I was able to find parking down the street. Overall really lovely hotel worth...

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for new year's.
Self check-in and out was very simple.
The staff were really lovely, helpful and down for a chat.
The view from our window was magnificent, overlooking the bay.
The perfect home base for our explorations on Isle of Skye.
The only thing that would improve the experience would be a mini fridge to keep groceries and milk fresh. Although mini fridges seem to be more common in Australian accommodation, as I haven't had one anywhere we have stayed...

The best area to stay in Balmeanach is the central village itself, particularly around the main street, which offers convenient access to local amenities and the stunning loch views.
The village centre is compact and easy to navigate on foot. You'll find a few local shops, traditional pubs, and eateries dotted along the main thoroughfare. The harbour area, just off the main street, is a focal point, offering boat trips and a chance to see local fishing boats. It's an ideal base for couples seeking a tranquil getaway with easy access to nature and a touch of local life.
For those looking for a bit more seclusion and direct access to hiking trails, staying in one of the cottages or guesthouses on the outskirts of the village, towards the hills, would be excellent. These accommodations often boast uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape and are superb for keen walkers or those simply wanting a quieter experience.
When is the best time to go to Balmeanach?
The best time to go to Balmeanach is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, for the most pleasant weather and longest daylight hours.
May and June offer milder temperatures, fewer crowds, and the landscape is particularly fresh and green. This period is excellent for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the coastline, as the days are long, giving you more time to enjoy the natural beauty. You'll find most local businesses and attractions are fully operational during these months.
July and August are the warmest months, making them ideal for those who enjoy swimming or spending extended time outdoors. While it's the busiest period, Balmeanach still offers plenty of opportunities for a tranquil escape, especially if you venture slightly off the main tourist routes. This is also when you're most likely to experience some of the local festivals and events.
September is another excellent option, as the crowds begin to thin, but the weather often remains agreeable.
